ATG Page Developer’s Guide

valueishtml

When a JSP is converted into HTML by the page compiler, all values provided by DSP tags are automatically enclosed in escape tags so they are treated as non-HTML code. This means that text is rendered as raw text:

This is how you code a word to appear <b>bold</b>.

rather than formatted HTML:

This is how you code a word appear bold.

In most circumstances, you want tag values to be displayed as literal text. However, when you want a tag value to appear as formatted HTML code, use the valueishtml tag converter. This tag converter accepts a Boolean value.
